@IrisW yes it really does lol
Thanks, @crystal24! I wrote it with winter roads in mind. Itāll be icy sooner than I like.
Your spellcasting looks awesome @IrisW! The fire pit is beautiful and I like the rocks your hubby brought you.
This had me snorting water out of my nose!
This is an awesome topic :
I love all the portable alter kits and need to make one. Usually I pack my books , cards, a crystal or two and Jars to collect magically nature specimens. Nature is a huge part of my magick and often I collect things as iām out and use them for magick on the go .
This week I meditated at the park and made this beautiful natural offering while I was there
The other images are of offerings made on the go or from items collected on the Go .

I think those are all lovely things to bring with you on the go- agreed, @phoenix_dawn! Itās great to have your favorite tools close at hand even away from home. Beautifully designed!
Absolutely, @Eliza_Beth- and thanks again for sharing your beautiful protective spell jar in the other thread, you did a great job with it!
Wow, what an amazing experience @Garnet- it sounds like you had quite the adventure! I would love to visit such a place, the way you described it sounds so relaxing and comforting there Thanks for sharing your astral travel experience!
What a lovely keychain, @steph! Thatās a great way to have some tools always close at hand, and in a way thatās personal and customizable to your needs of the journey- great job!
Congrats on the successful I Release You Spell, @Kasandra- it sounds as thought the Dragon Healer heard your prayer and granted immediate relief from your heartache. May you move forward, blessed by happiness from within, to see all that the world has to offer you
Ohhhh I am loving this travel chant to Hermes, @Amethyst! Iām always in awe of the chants you craft, and this one is no exception- gorgeously written! I read it once in my head and felt so compelled to re-read it out loud that I did. Hereās to (hopefully!) travels in the near future
Hope you and your husband had a lovely anniversary, @IrisW! Thanks for sharing the banishing negativity spell- and wow, what an impressive display, I think you chose a great spot! The rock absolutely looks like a face- half in shadow and half in light, like the waning moon itself And uh-oh- hopefully Sherlock doesnāt decide to āhelpā with the spellwork!
It sounds like you had a blessed nature meditation, @JasmineTheBlueJ! And ohhh I love the pictures- what a neat pinecone spiral! And those decorations are stunning, did you make them? Really beautiful job- thanks for sharing!
Itās friendly reminder time!
This challenge will close TOMORROW
If you would like to participate and havenāt done so already, please post about your challenge experience(s) by the deadline: Tomorrow: September 7th, 7:00 AM CET (Central European Time Zone)
Blessed be!
As we wait for the USA to reopen to the EU, my partner and I havenāt been doing too much traveling lately. But we have been enjoying our weekly adventures into the woods!
So for anyone who canāt go adventuring at the moment, here are some pictures so you can come along with us in spirit
Wild boar tracks in the morning woods
Heather in a woody field
The heather is currently in full bloom- full of happy bees buzzing in the more open parts of the woodlands. In Poland, the month of September is named after heather, itās a very popular plant around these parts!
If anyone is interested, I wrote a piece last year on the Magickal and Medicinal Properties of Heather- itās a lovely plant
Strange shrooms- NOT EDIBLE
We found lots of mushrooms- many of which are not edible, but several of which are!
I am still a very low-level student in mushroom foraging (you can read more about it in: Into the Woods for Shrooms and Blues) so everything I forage needs to be double-checked by two mushrooms experts before itās given the okay to eat
Edible mushrooms- boletes and a few rare porcini
Mandatory mushroom/foraging note : There are many deadly mushrooms and plants out there- many varieties can be difficult to identify. If you go foraging, always forage with an expert and never EVER eat mushrooms or other plants if you are not 110% sure that they are safe.
Before heading into the woods, Iāve been saying a quick prayer to Artemis- Deity of the Woods and the Wild. Iāve been working with Her a bit since coming to the countryside, and She has really become a go-to deity of the woods for me
As we head into the woods, I say a mental prayer. Itās different everytime, but goes something like this:
Oh, Artemis- Lady of the Woods
Watch over us as we walk your paths
So that we may return home again safe.
Guide us through burrough and brush
Over hill and riverbed and field
And should the Lady like,
Fill our basket with forest bounty
So far we havenāt come home empty-handed yet!
Forest floor
Blessings to all from the countryside and woodlands of Poland.
Love and Light!
Thatās a beautiful spiral @JasmineTheBlueJ! You did a great job with that. I hope you left it like that to make other people wonder if there were faries in the park! Your other pictures are lovely too!
Thank you @BryWisteria! Iām glad you liked it! Although Iām the type of person who would never leave their hobbit hole unless I have to. No travels for me if I can help it.
What a lovely prayer! Iām sure Artemis quite likes it, even if it is a bit different each time! Good job!
For this challenge, I did a couple of things. I did a road opener spell. Itās already working, I got a new job!!!
And I also try astral projection every night. I remember a few. I went to a forest with flowers made up of flowers. And there was a waterfall so majestic! And nature everywhere, even fairies so petite and prettyfull!!
Last but not least, I wear crystal jewelry!! Itās considered magic on the go!!! I wear these the most:
The one on the left has moonstone and rose quartz. The one in the middle is clear quartz and the last I recently placed a rose quartz inside for self love.
Thank you @BryWisteria for the opportunity to do this challenge!!!
Thus cute little besom has just arrived in my Wonky Broomstick subscription box. Less than 4 inches so perfect for magick on the go!
Thank you so much!!!
Aw I loves it!!!
What beautiful countryside.
You had a lovely night, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO YOU BOTH!
Happy Anniversary to @IrisW! Iām happy that it went well for you.
I really have to come up with something for this challenge. Time has gotten away from me this week. I will think on it a little bit & post something for it later today.
Firstly Happy anniversary @IrisW!
For this challenge, I had every intention (thereās that word) of heading to the beach for sunrise
However, lack of sleep last night caused my need to stay in bed longer. SO, I ventured into my back yard with my little travel altar to meditate beneath my dadās favorite tree, our leaning maple. I sat in the grass beneath her listening to the sounds of nature. It was wonderful
Congrats on the new job!!
I was trying to wait for the wooden box to come in, but this is cutting it close.
I went through my space to see what I thought I could use in my travel altar.
I chose 1 white candle, 1 black candle, a lighter, incense cones & stand, quartz crystal, Amethyst, rose Quartz, Carnelian, Red Jasper chips, Lapis Lazuli, & Tiger Eye chips in bottles, 3 seashells, my wand, & my very 1st altar cloth
For this challenge I made a box It has a lighter, incense, and several stones. I made my box out of an old cigar box. It is for Hekate, Hail Hekate!
What I did was paint my box gold because it is golden. She Often uses golden sandals and thereās a connection of her saffron giving an association with the shade of yellow we can use gold as the color to symbolize Hecate as a world soul.
I used a photo and photoshopped it!
I used red velvet to honor my creativity, sexuality, passion, and romance.
I used black roses to symbolize her Mediumship her protection banishing and sending away any negative energy a reversal. In the book lesson, nine keeping her Keys white is for psychic development protection attracting purification and I used a white candle.
I used a rose pink candle for compassion, Happiness kindness, and love
Purple Candle - So control connection to the deities
A Gold candle holder for a combination of Hekate aspects!
White Candle for development protection and attracting purification
The caduceus wand I made with cats eye, and moon Stone and in the book by Cunninghamās crystal gym and metal magic a travel stone is good to use and stars represent protective attributes And they are called these āmovement stonesā they deflect negativity catās-eye star ruby star sapphire moon stone Tigers eye Sunstone it is known as Chatoyancy.
Totem spirit oil for the crow and owl and butterflie tailsman!
I also made Hecate oil and used it for my travel box so when I want to leave I have some oil to use for my invocation.
Two really long matches too ask her to give me her tourches and summon her! I raise up my torch, to help me with my willpower to overcome and be strong enough to fight for my life!
In a small prayer I light these torches to lite the way! I hope to learn to have a strong will to live a happy fulfilled life with the abstinence of anything that will harm my life. I hope to be healthy and carefree not feeling any negative emotions so high intend in banishing my negative emotions in they will all dissipate into thin air!
My chant
I have the will to fight for what is mines and is my right!
I have what it takes!
Her 13 keys of wisdom
1 Faith
2. Strength
3. Will or Desire
4. Perseverance
5. Acceptance
6.Gratitude
7. Wholeness
8. My truth
9. My voice
10. Compassion
11. Risk
12.Self control

I had a yellow altar cloth to help with any depression. I used mugwort in my box and black salt!
Apothecary Hecate oil for my invocation ! I used many different crystals just to name a few amethyst obsidian, fluorite black tourmaline, black smoky quartz. I also have honey and a little tiny jar I have a crow pendant and a owl Crystal that is Tigers eye. I also used a necklace inside of my box do use it as an amulet and it is a butterfly. I hope I didnāt forget anything if I did I apologize! I had fun putting together all of my correspondences in my box for travel.
I had so much fun being proactive in my spiritual journey!
Thank you
Blessed be!
Hola a todos!
So, Iām in Bogota right now (I live in Sogamoso) and I brought my tarot cards, my crystals, the bell, my book of Shadows, incense burner, moon water, my wand, and my candles.
Iāve been using my tarot cards and crystals every day and Iām planning to call the quarters this week and see if I can meditate in my friendās house inside it.
Thanks a lot for encouraging me to practice magic out of home, it feels weird but thatās the good part of it!
